Cell Receptor
Question 1: What are the domains found inside the cell receptors?
Answer:
There are two domains inside the cell receptors. They are the Ligand Binding Domain. And another is Effector Domain. The ligand binds with the Ligand Binding Domain & Effector Domain performs some operation inside of the cell.
Question 2: Can a steroid hormone able to bind with Cell-Surface Receptors?
Answer:
No! As steroid hormones are small in size. They have the power to cross the cell membrane. So, they will not bind with the Cell-Surface Receptors. They will bind with Internal Receptors.
Question 3: Can a peptide hormone able to bind with Internal Receptors?
Answer:
No! As peptide hormones are large. They don’t have the power to cross the cell membrane. So, they will bind with the Cell-Surface Receptors. They will not bind with Internal Receptors.
Question 4: Somatic Nervous System works with which type of receptors?
Answer:
The Somatic Nervous System works with the Ligand Gated Ion Channels. As this nervous system secretes Acetylcholine from the synapsis. These are used for the opening channel that is guarded by the receptors. So, Somatic Nervous System works with Ligand Gated Ion Channels.
Question 5: What are Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic ligands?
Answer:
They are the categories of ligands. If a ligand is large, they are Hydrophilic. So, they need to bind with the Cell-Surface Receptors. Those ligands which have a small size are termed Hydrophobic ligands. They bind with the Internal Receptors.
Cell Receptors
Communication is an important method to share an emotion or thought with each other. Humans talk to each other for making a communication process. Other animals used some kinds of sound to communicate with each other. Cells in the body also need to communicate. But there is no other method to make a communication. They can’t ever talk or make a sound. But communication is needed also. Without making communication, there will be trouble secreting some chemicals from a certain cell. Those chemical is going to help another cell. So, without communication, the whole process on side of the human body will be stopped. So, they used to communicate with each other with the help of chemicals. Cell Receptor is one component in this case.
